WHO IS CR FOR? CR is for anyone struggling with life. If you have ever had a hurt, if you have ever had a hang-up in life, or perhaps you have struggled with an addiction, then this ministry is for you. We all share one thing in common: hurt. Anger, Sexual Addiction, Food Addiction, Low self-esteem, Alcoholism, Eating disorders, Codependency, Drug abuse, Abandonment, Resentment, Pornography Addiction, and a history of abuse are just a few of the issues this biblically based program can help people overcome while exploring the truth of God's word. WHAT IS CR? We are: a safe place, a refuge, a place of belonging, a place to care for others and be cared for, where respect is given to each member, where confidentiality is highly regarded, a place to learn, to grow and become strong again, where you can take off your mask, a place for healthy challenges and healthy risks, a possible turning point in your life. We are NOT: a place of selfish control, therapy, a place for secrets, a place to look for dating relationships, a place to rescue or be rescued by others, a place of perfection, a long-term commitment, a place to judge others, or a quick fix. IS CELEBRATE RECOVERY FOR ME? Celebrate Recovery offers a person the opportunity to participate in a group fellowship where love and hope combine with God’s purpose to mend our lives. Ask yourself… (1) Are there things in my life that I do that hurt others? (2) Is there something I wish I could live without? (3) Is it time to crack my denial and admit I am not in control of my life? (4) Do I have a painful habit or hang-up from which I need to be freed? If you answered “yes” to any of these statements then we urge you to attend a Celebrate Recovery meeting to see if it is for you. WHAT DOES IT COST TO ATTEND? Celebrate Recovery does not charge for this ministry. Offerings are received on Monday evenings. Our Celebrate Recovery is self-supporting. Workbooks are utilized in the Step Studies and are available at the Resource Center Table on Monday evenings. Prices for these materials range from $6 – $20. There is a small cost for dinner, but first time visitors are our guests for dinner. IS CELEBRATE RECOVERY CONFIDENTIAL? Absolutely yes, Celebrate Recovery maintains strict confidentiality. This promotes an atmosphere of trust and enables recovery. We have a saying that goes: WHO you see here. WHAT you hear here. WHEN you leave here. STAYS HERE. We are diligent about confidentiality and anonymity. The guidelines/rules protect all of us from judgment and being “fixed”. In a “safe place” you can take off your “mask” and be real and honest without fear. You are 100% in control of when and how much you participate. We have a meal starting at 5:45pm (suggested $3-5 donation)
